Forward slashes in filenames 2897

Grunff has a bunch of CDs that were made using a MacOS CD-writing program of some sort. Many of the files on these CDs have in their filenames. "mount -t iso9660dev-cdrommnt-cdrom -o norock,nojoliet" was tried.

disabling Rockridge and Joliet doesn't do anything useful. You might want to change the -o to "norock,nojoliet,map=off" , which might do something, or not.

Or, try doing something like this: Mount the CD normally, get a directory listing, save that listing to temp.txt, umount the CD, "dd if=-dev-cdrom of=temp.iso bs=2048", then put together a sed or Perl script that searches through temp.iso for all the strings in temp.txt and replaces all those strings with strings of the same length that have theirs replaced with s. After that's done, you can try to mount temp.iso with -o loop and see if it'll work. This will take some time since a CD can contain up to 700M, and it may not work. I'm about out of ideas though, since I've never had to deal with this problem before and I lack the means to create an ISO file which contains the problem. Hmm... what if...? Right; I'll go do the reverse of what I suggested and see what I come up with. Keep plugging; there's got to be a way around this.
